Freeze rows: Click the Sort tab. Use the Freeze header rows drop-down to select up to 5 rows at the top of the current sheet that you want to remain unsorted.
Sort your data: Use your cursor and select the cell that you want sorting to start in. Next, click the Sort tab, and select either A->Z (ascending order) or Z->A (descending order). The Sort feature will order all rows of a spreadsheet, except any "frozen rows," using the column or the currently selected cell (or the first cell in a range, if a range is selected).
To use the sortbar feature: Simply place your cursor in the gray box at the top of any column. The orange Sortbar appears. Click the arrow at the far right of the Sortbar and select a specific sort order for the data in that column.
